Brisbane Heat Women (BH W) lock horns with Sydney Thunder Women (ST W) in match No. 18 of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025 at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane on Friday, November 21.

Brisbane and Sydney faced each other in the Challenger last year, where the former emerged victorious by nine wickets at the same venue. However, neither team has hit its stride so far this season.

Jess Jonassen-led Brisbane have played three matches so far this season, losing all of them. On the other hand, Phoebe Litchfield's Sydney have played four games, winning one and facing defeat in four. They ended their three-match losing streak with a nine-wicket victory over the Perth Scorchers in their last game.

Three games have been played so far at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane. The average first-innings score is 162. Two out of the three games have been won by chasing teams. The captain who wins the toss would want to bowl first.

Grace Harris, Charli Knott, Jemimah Rodrigues, Jess Jonassen (C), Chinelle Henry, Nadine de Klerk, Georgia Redmayne (WK), Nicola Hancock, Mikayla Wrigley, Sianna Ginger, Lucy Hamilton.

Georgia Voll, Tahlia Wilson (WK), Phoebe Litchfield (C), Heather Knight, Chamari Athapaththu, Anika Learoyd, Laura Harris, Lucy Finn, Taneale Peschel, Shabnim Ismail, Samantha Bates.

Sydney Thunder's Tahlia Wilson has played four matches and scored 114 runs at an average of 38. The 26-year-old will be high on confidence after scoring an unbeaten 55 off 44 balls in Sydney's most recent clash against Perth Scorchers.

Shabnim Ismail has picked up seven wickets in four games at an average of 16.29. She has an economy rate of 7.51 so far. The right-arm pacer will look to continue her purple patch on Friday. Her spell with the new ball is going to be key for Sydney Thunder.
